Subject[PATCH] arch_topology: Limit threads to one specific cluster
Date
The sibling information for one particular CPU is updated after ACPI
PPTT table is parsed. struct cpu_topology::thread_sibling tracks the
the CPUs in same core. However, cluster isn't considered when it's
populated. In this case, multiple threads belonging to different
clusters can be put together through the sibling information. It
eventually leads to unexpected warning from sched subsystem.

For example, the following warning is observed in a VM where we have
2 sockets, 4 clusters, 8 cores and 16 threads and the CPU topology
is populated as below.

This fixes the issue by limiting threads to one specific cluster.
With this applied, the unexpected warning disappears in the VM.

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/thread_siblings_list
